A peaceful and powerful place. Nano Nagle Place is a hidden gem in Cork — beautiful gardens, a thoughtful museum, and an inspiring story of a woman who changed lives through education and compassion. Quiet, moving, and truly worth a visit.

Cannot believe it has taken me so long to visit this fantastic oasis of calm in my native city. Immaculately preserved and presented buildings, cemetery and gardens. Museum, bookshop, café and restaurant on site. Entrance is free of charge. Well worth a visit as it is only a short walk from St. Finbarre's cathedral. Parking extremely limited....so leave the car at home.
